Wine & Cheese #2

Cheese 1




Name: Rex- Goliath 
Variety:  Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Acampo, California 
Country: USA
Year: ?
Price: $2.95

Winery review:  Our wines area tribute to Rex the chickens Karger than life personality with a big, fruit forward flavors sure to please!

My review:  This wine was an amazing wine, I got a nice cherry aroma and the palate had a little oaky taste with a nice smooth finish and with the cheese it just offset one another in the right way to make great pair. Not to mention the price on this is a steal.


The Pairing: Paired with Morbier cheese, which was an amazingly soft and silky smooth that had a slightly nutty taste. It really enhanced the wine and made for a great pairing

My Score: 8.5/10

Cheese 2



Name: Flip Flop wine
Variety:  Pinot Grigio
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: ?
Price: $3.95

Winery review: Light bodied, refreshing Pinot Grigio with flavors of tropical citrus, ripe pear and a zesty, clean finish

My review: This wine was very good and smooth, very tropical aroma and pear tasting with a semi sweet taste. Such a crisp finish also.



The Pairing: Paired with Murrays Gruyere cheese. This cheese had slight grainy and crunchy feel in the mouth but had earthy tones and a slight nutty taste that was quite nice. When brought into play with the wine it wasn't out of this world but had a nice combo. I would recommend if hosting a wine and cheese trap party.

My Score: 7.3/10

Cheese 3


Name: Colorblock Red Blend
Variety:  Red Blend
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2016
Price: $3.95

Winery review:  Our Red blend is an aromatic fusion of black plum, ripe cherry and chocolate notes. An exquisite match for marinated grilled leg of lamb or sautéed zucchini with mushrooms
My review: Wine was very earthy and slightly plummy but was actually very bland in my opinion. I couldn't really get a good aroma from this. It was terrible but nothing was really popping' on this one for me Chief.


The Pairing: Paired with challerhocker cheese, this cheese has a slight grain and nutty crunchy taste, which was amazing by itself. The wine didn't really do anything to boost the wine or cheese combo but also didn't hurt so this was a win-win... I guess.

My Score: 6.2/10
